TESTIMONIALS FROM WEDDING RECEPTIONS

Marissa said...
It's easy to do one of these and just click all fives for convenience.. If 10s were options that's what my husband and I would give this outrageously talented, fun, and professional band! They truly made our wedding a night to remember! Wish we could do it all over again just to be able to dance to these awesome guys one more time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Bride Pine Lakes Country Club, Myrtle Beach

Marjorie said...
I literally can't rave about Travis and the band more! They are AMAZING!! My one request for my wedding was to have a band that could get everyone on the dance floor and having a good time. Travis Allison Band did that and so much more! Everyone loved them and they made my day PERFECT! Hobcaw Yacht Club

Heidi said...

The Travis Allison Band played from the beginning of our ceremony until the end of the reception. They were easy going, yet full of energy, playing music that kept our guests dancing all night. Great guys, great music! Cigar Factory

Patti said...
You would not be disappointed. Wonderful,talented musians. They were great! Everyone from the youngest to the oldest danced to their music! Good variety. Easy to work with. Always anxious to please! Cassina Pointe Plantation

Kelley said...
We took a little leap of faith with booking Travis Allison Band without even hearing them live in person --- and we are so grateful we did. Travis Alison Band simply made the wedding. We got married two weeks ago, and everyone is still reaching out to us with comments regarding how awesome the band was. They had the whole wedding on the dance floor having the time of their lives -- even at the end, everyone was chanting "one more song" no one wanted them to stop!!! To top it all off, Travis was a pleasure to work with and make all aspects seamless and as enjoyable as wedding planning can be! Old Wide Awake Plantation

Kimberly said...
Travis Allison Band was absolutely AMAZING! Not only are they so talented and professional, but they are truly great people. The band was enthusiastic and provided great dance music. They even went so far as to learn the song my daughter chose for her dance with her Dad, which was not on their usual playlist. They made our night SO SPECIAL and I would HIGHLY recommend them for any occasion that calls for a GREAT time! Boone Hall Plantation

Jackie said...
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Travis Allison band! From the first communication to the final dance they went above and beyond with everything! They played amazing music and are super talented! Definitely spend the extra money for the saxophonist, it was a big hit at our wedding! Our guests were on the dance floor for the entire time they played! Thank you Travis Allison Band for being AMAZING! We will be reaching out for future parties that we plan on having! Edisto

Katie said...
The band provided a super fun atmosphere and excellent soundtrack for the night. Well worth every penny. You wont be disappointed. Rice Mill Building

Sean said...
You will not be disappointed with the way the band performs and carry's themselves. They were amazing at our wedding and everyone was dancing all night! Highly recommended :)

For any other groom reading these reviews, as we generally are the most money-conscious when dealing with wedding planning, I'm writing this for you so you can have confidence when choosing this band to play for you and feel confident in the money that will be well spent when you do. When we had made the decision to go with a live band instead of a DJ, I was a bit timid at first. I met with three different bands to play for our wedding, an outside venue in the late April Charleston heat, and decided to go with Travis and the Travis Allison Band because of his professionalism, courtesy, and easy-going politeness when meeting him as well as the sound tracks we had listened to and the style of music we knew he could play. We were absolutely not disappointed. We could not have had a better wedding band play than TAB - everyone on this site knows how much weddings can cost a person now, and I will, absolutely and without reservation, say the money we paid TAB to play was the best money we spent on the entire wedding. We had his five piece band play (I completely recommend getting the sax player, we requested mainly classic rock and country for our reception and they killed it) for us and they were absolutely amazing and completely set the scene and mood for us. We had multiple people come up to us during the reception to tell us how thrilled they were to see a live band on top of how great they sounded. We were going for a southern garden-party theme for the reception dinner and Travis and his band accommodated us at the last minute by looking fantastic with a great look. We had two areas set up we needed music at, some timeline and other changes, and Travis was incredibly gracious, professional, and time-oriented in accommodating what we needed by setting up a few speakers, mic, and ipod at some docks seventy yards from where his band set up was while making announcements for us. If I ever have another event in Charleston, I know the first guy to contact. Nick, Groom Old Santee Canal Park

"Dear Travis Allison Band,

Thank you to ALL of you for being such amazing rock stars. You went above and beyond our wildest expectations. Thank you for taking requests, jammin so hard, and getting everybody on their feet! We just had the best time dancing, and we certainly did enough of it! You made our wedding so much more and really allowed all of the guests to let loose. I will recommend you to anyone and everyone looking for a band and I wish you all much happiness and success. Awesome!" Cheers, - Katie and Jimmy Gregg, Bride & Groom, Sanctuary Resort Kiawah

"HI Travis!
WE LOVED you and your band at Cory & Amanda's wedding!
My college roommate's daughter is getting married…  She loved your choice of songs as well as I did :))
Many thanks," - Mary Line, Mother of the Groom

"By far the best band in Charleston ... Our guests are STILL raving about how awesome you were!! Thanks for making the night so special!" - Sarah Rand and Seth McDaniel, William Aiken House, Charleston

"My now wife is a musician and wanted "a real band" for our wedding as opposed to some cheesy "wedding band." We looked for a really long time because from all the weddings we've been to (and there have been so, so many) the band dictates the fun of the wedding (followed by libations, food, and decorations and in that order wedding planning couples!). Finally we hit upon the Travis Allison Band and he told us he was playing a solo show (because he's a real musician) and we should stop by. We met Mr. Allison as he was setting up, and he was super personable and professional. Then after playing 2-3 songs (my now wife and I had huge grins on our faces the entire time), my (now) mother-in-law starts asking for requests ("you need to know if he can do the kind of music you want"): motown, classic rock, etc, and he's just knocking them out of the park. We booked him on the spot. Mr. Allison was a joy to work with, and we were spoiled for choice with their massive song list. A month before the wedding, Mr. Allison came out to the site to make sure everything would be good (again the man is a professional), and offered very helpful suggestions to improve to experience of the guest (wedding planing couples--your guests will remember more of the reception than you will, so make sure they have a good time). When the day of the wedding came, the band showed up early and got everything set up super quick. They couldn't have been more fantastic. I can't say enough about how great they were or how many people said it was the best wedding they've been to (a couple even asked for the song list for their own weddings, which Mr. Allison provided--who does that?). I'd like to think it was the wedding couple, but let's be honest, it was because of the Travis Allison Band, a real band. Thank you so much!"

- Cory Line, Groom

Travis!! I can’t even tell you how amazing you and your guys were at the reception!!! Everyone I have talked to was blown away! I don’t think I left the dance floor the entire evening, every song was perfect!! Thank you so much for making the night unforgettable.

- Keely Baker, Bride

Travis was GREAT. We hired Travis for our Charleston destination wedding. This band made the wedding. As father of the bride, i had several email exchanges with Travis and found him so nice to work with. The dance floor was packed the entire time. I cannot say enough good about this band. Travis...Thank you! - Joe Muskovich, Father of the Bride

Just wanted to say thank you for doing such a wonderful job last night! The music was perfect, and the songs you learned off us couldn't have been any better! I barely left the dance floor all night. - Jordan Scarborough, Bride Magnolia Plantation

Everyone kept saying what a great job you guys did. Thanks again for making it a memorable night!" - Anna Cypress Trees Plantation, Edisto Island, SC

"Travis and the band are just plain AWESOME!! I can't say enough to describe how great they are. They are easy to communicate with and get a great feel ahead of time for what the specific client prefers. As the bride, i told them a general idea of what kind of music we liked and didn't like and then totally entrusted the rest to them. The music through our entire reception was AWESOME! They pretty much run the show and don't need micro-managing, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy for everyone. They are the band for a PARTY!! As a vendor in the wedding industry, they are awesome! As a guest at many of the weddings they have played, each show they play is different and unique and just as awesome as the last! I would recommend to anyone!! Biz Ford, Pepper Plantation
